Everglades Trail Kiosk #20 Panther Refuge

Most of the refuge is closed to the public, but visitors can take a walking trail to experience the habitat of the Florida panther. Don’t forget to look for tracks! Phone: (239) 353-8442 website: www.fws.gov/floridapanther/

Observations:This kiosk is at the refuge hiking trial, out in the remote area of Alligator Alley (I-75, Exit 80) and state highway 29. The parking area is surrounded by a fence and closed at night. This is the only public access point available on the preserve. One thing that I have enjoyed seeing is that the brochure box has also been utilized to hold refuge pamphlets besides the regular trail brochures.Visited 7/27/2012.
